When nine-year-old Emmy finds a wine bottle hidden in her toy chest, she suspects it's connected to her mom's humiliating behavior in front of her friends. But she obeys the rule of the dysfunctional family, "don't tell". Teased at school, she pretends everything is okay.
But her mother's alcoholism leads to her parents' divorce and her mother leaves. Emmy's anger and pain is finally unleashed as she screams, "How could Mom choose wine over me?
I'm the only kid in the world with a mother who would do that."
Arrangements are made for counseling. It's there that Emmy discovers she's one of 11 million kids in the U.S. with an alcoholic parent. She joins a group for children of alcoholics and makes a new best friend. Through Madison and others, she comes to better understand her mother's disease and her own heart.
She continues to love her mom and urges her to seek help, too. But Emmy has learned that even if she cannot fix her mother, she can still be a winner herself.
